Come and be enthralled on an educational journey that will let you walk on the seabed to explore the unique seagrass meadows. Kelab Alami guides will help you spot animals and understand the importance of this area to their families and history. If you are lucky, you may see dugong trails, octopuses, sea hares, squid and seahorses!
On the next day, mingle amongst fishermen who trade their nets to become fishmongers at their very own fishermen’s market by the jetty! While you learn about the local fish species, why not shop for Johor’s juicy pineapples and other fresh greens to bring back home?
And what’s a journey without photographs to remind you of the great time you had with friends and family? By participating, you are automatically entered in a photo competition with prizes and certificates sponsored by Photo SIG! Submit your best photograph of this heritage journey to Photo SIG’s e-mail via wetransfer. Photo SIG committee will judge and select the 3 winning photos. Each winner will get a 8” X 10” print suitable for framing and a certificate for 1st, 2nd or 3rd place. Participants can also vote for the People’s Choice Award photo – which will be published in the next issue of Pencinta Alam with a photo credit. Photo SIG will arrange for a photo sharing session giving constructive feedback, concluding with a prize-giving ceremony!
